Some of BBC Radio 5 Live’s biggest names, including Richard Bacon, Victoria Derbyshire and Shelagh Fogarty, will leave the station later this year.

The exodus of presenters is expected to be confirmed by the station on Tuesday.

It will announce a new daytime line-up tipped to include one of the station’s rising stars, weekend breakfast presenter Tony Livesey.

Derbyshire, who presents the morning show between 10am and midday, and lunchtime presenter Fogarty are two of the stations longest serving presenters and both former co-hosts of its breakfast show.

Bacon, who will front a new amateur art show on BBC1 with Una Stubbs, first worked for 5 Live in 2003, later presenting the late-night show before switching to the afternoon slot between 2pm and 4pm.

It is expected 5 Live will unveil a new daytime schedule with two three-hour shows, running between 10am and 1pm, and 1pm and 4pm.

Livesey, the former editor of the Sunday Sport, has been tipped for a prominent new role on the station, as has Dan Walker, presenter of BBC1’s Football Focus and already a familiar voice as the presenter of 5 Live Sport.

The changes come three years after the station’s move out of London to Salford, since when a number of presenters, including Derbyshire, have commuted to work from the capital (or presented their show from London).

It is thought 5 Live management have issued an edict that all new talent joining the station must live in the north-west of England.

Bacon said: “5 Live has been a spectacular place to work, I’ve got nothing but good things to say about it.

“It’s been a hugely important part of my career and life, and I’ll always be grateful, and a listener, to 5 Live. After seven years, it’s time to have different adventures, many of which will still be at the BBC.”

Derbyshire said she was leaving because she had a “brilliant opportunity too good to turn down.”

The presenter, who has been linked with a switch to ITV and has also fronted editions of BBC2’s Newsnight, which is looking for a new face following the departure of Jeremy Paxman, described it as a “huge wrench to leave 5 Live where listeners and I have shared so many experiences, and I would like to thank them enormously for trusting me”.

Fogarty said: “At 5 Live I’ve had some of the happiest times and richest experiences of my working life, covering the fundamentals of life in Britain and presenting programmes from amazing places around the world.

“I’m very sad to be leaving but it’s definitely time to do so. I’m spending the summer exploring a number of opportunities, before deciding what’s next.”
